税吏长撒该

19 耶稣进了耶利哥,正经过的时候, 有一个人名叫撒该,是税吏长,又很富有。 他想看看耶稣是怎么样的,因为人多,他又身材矮小,就看不见。 于是他跑到前头,爬上一棵桑树,要看看耶稣,因为耶稣就要从那里经过。 耶稣到了那里,往上一看,对他说:“撒该,快下来,今天我要住在你家里。” 他就赶快下来,欢欢喜喜地接待耶稣。 众人看见就纷纷议论说:“他竟到罪人家里去住宿!” 撒该站着对主说:“主啊,请看,我要把家财的一半分给穷人,我若敲诈了谁,就还他四倍。” 耶稣说:“今天救恩到了这家,他也是亚伯拉罕的子孙。 10 因为人子来,是要寻找拯救失丧的人。”

十个仆人的比喻(参(A)

11 众人听这些话的时候,因为耶稣已经接近耶路撒冷,又因他们以为 神的国快要出现,他就讲了一个比喻, 12 说:“有一个贵族往远方去要接受王位,然后回来。 13 他叫了自己的十个仆人来,给他们一千银币,说:‘你们拿去作生意,等到我回来。’ 14 他本国的人却恨他,就派使者跟着去说:‘我们不愿意这个人作王统治我们。’ 15 他得了王位回来,就吩咐把那些领了钱的仆人召来,要知道他们作生意赚了多少。 16 第一个走过来说:‘主啊,你的一百银币,已经赚了一千。’ 17 主人说:‘好,良善的仆人,你既然在最小的事上忠心,可以有权管理十座城。’ 18 第二个来说:‘主啊,你的一百银币,已经赚了五百。’ 19 主人说:‘你可以管理五座城。’ 20 另一个来说:‘主啊,你看,你的一百银币,我一直保存在手巾里, 21 因为我怕你,你一向是严厉的人,没有存的要提取,没有种的要收割。’ 22 主人说:‘可恶的仆人!我要凭你的口定你的罪。你知道我是严厉的人,没有存的要提取,没有种的要收割吗? 23 那你为甚么不把我的钱存入银行,等我回来的时候,把它连本带利取回来呢?’ 24 他就对侍卫说:‘夺过他的一百银币,给那有一千的。’ 25 他们说:‘主啊,他已经有一千银币了。’ 26 主人说:‘我告诉你们,凡是有的,还要给他;没有的,就算他有甚么也要拿去。 27 至于我那些仇敌,就是不愿意我作王统治他们的,把他们拉到这里来,在我面前杀掉!’”

骑驴进耶路撒冷(B)

28 耶稣讲完这些话,就往前走,上耶路撒冷去。 29 将到伯法其和伯大尼,就在橄榄山那里,他差派两个门徒, 30 说:“你们往对面的村子里去,走进去的时候,就会看见一头从来没有人骑过的小驴,拴在那里,把牠解开牵来。 31 如果有人问为甚么解开牠,你们要这样说:‘主需要牠。’” 32 被差的人去了,发现和主所说的一样。 33 他们解开小驴的时候,主人问他们:“你们为甚么解开牠?” 34 他们说:“主需要牠。” 35 他们把小驴牵到耶稣那里,把自己的衣服搭在上面,扶着耶稣上去。 36 耶稣前行的时候,众人把自己的衣服铺在路上。

37 他走近耶路撒冷,快要下橄榄山的时候,全体门徒因为所看见的一切神迹,就欢乐起来,大声赞美 神, 38 说:

“奉主名来的王,

是应当称颂的!

在天上有和平,

在至高之处有荣耀!”

39 群众中有几个法利赛人对他说:“先生,责备你的门徒吧!” 40 耶稣说:“我告诉你们,他们若不出声,石头都要呼叫了。”

为耶路撒冷哀哭

41 耶稣走近耶路撒冷的时候,看见了城,就为城哀哭, 42 说:“巴不得你在这日子,知道关于你平安的事,但现在这事在你眼前是隐藏的。 43 日子将到,你的仇敌必筑垒攻击你,周围环绕你,四面困住你, 44 要摧毁你和你里面的儿女,没有一块石头留在另一块石头上面,因为你不知道那眷顾你的时期。”

洁净圣殿(C)

45 耶稣进了圣殿,就赶走作买卖的人, 46 对他们说:“经上记着:

‘我的殿是祷告的殿’,

你们竟把它弄成贼窝了。”

47 他天天在圣殿里教导人,祭司长、经学家和民间的首领,都想杀害他; 48 但他们不知道要怎样下手,因为众人都围着他,听他的教训。

撒该

19 耶稣进了耶利哥,从城里经过。 那里有一个叫撒该的税吏长,非常有钱。 他很想看看耶稣是怎样的一个人。可是,因为他身材矮小,所以人群总是挡着他的视线。 无奈,他只好跑到人们前头,在耶稣将要经过的那条路上,爬上了路边的一棵桑树,以便能够看到耶稣。耶稣走到那棵树下时,抬起头对撒该说: “撒该,赶快下来吧,我今天要住在你家里。”

于是撒该赶紧从树上下来,满心欢喜地迎接耶稣的到来。 人们看到这个情景,就开始抱怨道∶“耶稣竟然到罪人家做客!”

撒该垂手直立在耶稣的面前,对主说∶“主啊,您看,我将把我财产的一半分给穷人,如果我骗取了谁的东西的话,我会多还给他四倍的东西。”

耶稣对他说∶“今天,拯救光顾了这所房子,因为这个人也是亚伯拉罕的儿子。 10 因为人子来到这里,是要寻找和挽救迷失的人们的。”

利用上帝赐给你的东西

11 人们正在听这些话时,耶稣继续给他们讲寓言,因为他已接近耶路撒冷了,而且也因为人们认为上帝王国马上就要来临了。 12 耶稣说∶“从前,一个贵族人要到很远的一个国家去领受封王的任命,然后回来统治他的子民。 13 临走之前,他叫来他仆人中的十个人,交给他们每个人一袋钱,说∶‘你们用这些钱去做买卖,直到我回来。’ 14 他的公民都非常恨他,他们便打发使者随后去说∶‘我们不要这个人做我们的王!’ 15 但是,他还是被封了王,并返回了家乡。他派人叫来了那几个拿着他的钱的仆人,想知道他们赚了多少利润。 16 第一个仆人走过来,说∶‘主人啊,我用您给我的那袋钱赚了十袋钱。’ 17 主人便对他说∶‘干得很好,我的好仆人,因为你在小事上能令人信赖,那么我要委派你掌管十座城。’ 18 第二个仆人过来说∶‘主人,我用你的钱赚了五袋的钱。’ 19 主人便对他说∶‘那么你来掌管五个城。’ 20 然后,第三个仆人过来说∶‘主人,这是你的钱,我用手帕把它包起来藏着。 21 我很害怕你,因为你是个苛刻的人。你掠夺别人挣来的钱,收获别人种好的庄稼。’ 22 主人对他说∶‘你这个恶仆,我要用你说的话来定你的罪。既然你说,你知道我是个苛刻的人,掠夺别人挣来的钱、收获别人种好的庄稼, 23 那么,你为什么不把我的钱存到银行里去呢?要是那样的话,我回来时还可以得到利息呢!’ 24 他对站在旁边的人说∶‘把他手里那袋钱拿过来,把它交给有十袋钱的那个仆人。’ 25 他们对他说∶‘主人,他已经有了十袋钱了!’ 26 主人回答道∶‘我告诉你们吧:那赢利的人将得到更多;没有赢利的人,甚至连他所有的一切也会被拿走。 27 但是,对我的敌人来说,既然他们不愿意让我做他们的王,就把他们都带来,在我面前把他们杀掉。’”

耶稣像王一样进入耶路撒冷

28 说完这些话后,耶稣继续向耶路撒冷走去。 29 当他们来到橄榄山附近的城镇伯法其和伯大尼时,耶稣派出两名门徒,对他们说: 30 “你们到前边的那个村子里去,一进村,你们就会看到一匹驴驹拴在那里,它从未被人骑过。你们解开缰绳,把它牵到我这里来。 31 如果有人问你们∶‘你们为什么要解开它的缰绳?’你们就说∶‘主需要它。’”

32 被派去的两个门徒去了,他们发现一切正如耶稣告诉他们的那样。 33 他们解驴驹时,它的主人们说∶“你们为什么解驴驹?”

34 他们答道∶“主需要它。” 35 然后他们把它牵到了耶稣面前,他们把自己的衣服铺在驴驹的背上,又把耶稣扶了上去。 36 耶稣骑驴朝耶路撒冷走时,人们把衣服铺在路上。

37 耶稣向耶路撒冷走近,他已到橄榄山下坡附近,门徒们都因为他们所看到的奇迹,兴高采烈地高声赞美着上帝。

38 他们说:

“愿奉主的名义而来的君王得到祝福!
愿天上和平,愿荣耀属于至高无上的上帝!”

39 人群中有一些法利赛人却对耶稣说∶“老师,吩咐你的门徒们不要说这些话吧!”

40 可耶稣却回答说∶“我告诉你们吧,如果他们不作声,这些石头都会喊叫起来!”

耶稣为耶路撒冷而落泪

41 耶稣他们走近了耶路撒冷城,他看到此城,就为它痛哭起来, 42 他说∶“但愿今天你们知道什么将给你们带来和平,但是现在,它却向你们隐藏着。 43 那些日子将要降临到你们身上,你的敌人会在你的周围筑起壁障,他们将把你包围起来,从四面八方围困你, 44 他们会消灭城里的你和你们所有的人,将你的城池夷为平地,这是因为你们不曾认出上帝的时代来到了你们的身边。”

耶稣去大殿。

45 耶稣走进大殿院里把在那里做买卖的人都赶了出来, 46 对他们说∶“《经》上记载着∶‘我的大殿将是祷告的大殿。’ [a]可是你们却把它变成贼窝了!” [b]

47 耶稣每天在大殿院里教导人们。祭司长、律法师和人们的首领都在设法要杀害他, 48 可是他们找不到杀害他的办法来,因为所有的百姓都听耶稣的话。

撒该悔改

19 耶稣进了耶利哥,正从城里经过。 有个人名叫撒该,是税吏长,家财丰厚。 他想看看耶稣,可是因为周围人多,他身材矮小,无法看见。 他便跑到前面,爬上一棵桑树观看,因为耶稣会从那里经过。

耶稣走到那里,抬头招呼他说:“撒该,快下来!今天我要住在你家。”

撒该连忙爬下来,兴高采烈地带耶稣回家。 百姓见状,都埋怨说:“祂怎么到一个罪人家里作客?”

撒该站起来对主说:“主啊,我要把我一半的财产分给穷人。我欺骗过谁,就还谁四倍。”

耶稣说:“今天救恩临到这家了,因为他也是亚伯拉罕的子孙。 10 人子来是要寻找和拯救迷失的人。”

十个奴仆的比喻

11 众人在听的时候,耶稣又为他们讲了一个比喻,因为祂快到耶路撒冷了,人们以为上帝的国马上就要降临了。

12 耶稣说:“有一位贵族要到远方去受封为王,然后返回。 13 临行前,他召集了十个奴仆,发给每人一千个银币,吩咐他们,‘你们在我出门期间要用这些钱做生意。’

14 “可是他的人民却憎恨他,他们随后派一个代表团去请愿说,‘我们不要这人做我们的王。’

15 “那贵族受封为王回来后,召齐十个奴仆,想知道他们做生意赚了多少。 16 第一个奴仆上前禀告说,‘主啊,我用你给我的一千个银币赚了一万个银币。’

17 “主人说,‘好,你真是个好奴仆!你既然在小事上忠心,就派你管理十座城。’

18 “第二个奴仆上前说,‘主啊,我用你给我的一千个银币赚了五千个银币。’

19 “主人说,‘我派你管理五座城。’

20 “另一个奴仆上前说,‘主啊,这是你先前给我的一千个银币,我一直把它包在手帕里。 21 因为你很严厉,没有存还要取,没有种还要收,所以我怕你。’

22 “主人听了,对那奴仆说,‘你这个恶奴仆!我要按你自己的话定你的罪。你既然知道我很严厉,没有存还要取,没有种还要收, 23 为什么不把我的银币存进钱庄,到我回来时可以连本带利收回来?’

24 “接着,他吩咐站在旁边的奴仆,‘收回他那一千个银币,赏给那个赚了一万银币的。’

25 “他们说,‘主啊,那个人已经有一万银币了。’

26 “主人答道,‘我告诉你们,凡有的,还要给他更多;凡没有的,连他仅有的也要夺走。 27 至于那些反对我做王的仇敌,把他们捉回来,在我面前处决。’”

骑驴进耶路撒冷

28 耶稣说完这个比喻,就走在众人前面上耶路撒冷去。

29 快到橄榄山附近的伯法其和伯大尼时,耶稣派了两个门徒,说: 30 “你们去前面的村庄,进村的时候,必看见一头从来没有人骑过的驴驹拴在那里,你们把它解开牵来。 31 若有人问你们为什么把它解开,就说,‘主要用它。’”

32 两个门徒出去后,所遇见的情形正如耶稣所说的。 33 当他们解开驴驹时,主人果然问他们:“你们为什么解开驴驹?”

34 他们说:“主要用它。”

35 他们牵着驴驹回去见耶稣,又把自己的外衣搭在驴背上,扶耶稣上驴。

36 耶稣骑着驴前行,众人用外衣为祂铺路。 37 祂正走下橄榄山,将近耶路撒冷的时候,众门徒因为以往所见的神迹奇事,就欢腾起来,高声赞美上帝:

38 “奉主名来的王当受称颂!
天上有平安,至高处有荣耀!”

39 百姓中有几个法利赛人对耶稣说:“老师,你要责备你的门徒。”

40 耶稣说:“我告诉你们,如果他们闭口不言,这些石头都要呼喊了!”

为耶路撒冷哀哭

41 耶稣快到耶路撒冷时,看见那城就哀哭, 42 说:“今天你若知道那能带给你平安的事就好了!可惜这事现在是隐藏的,你看不见! 43 因为有一天敌人要在你周围筑起壁垒把你团团围住,四面攻击你。 44 他们要把你夷为平地,毁灭你城墙里的儿女,不会留下两块叠在一起的石头,因为你没有认识到上帝眷顾你的时刻。”

耶稣洁净圣殿

45 耶稣进入圣殿赶走里面做买卖的人, 46 并对他们说:“圣经上说,‘我的殿要成为祷告的殿’,你们竟把它变成了贼窝。”

47 祂天天在圣殿教导人,祭司长、律法教师和百姓的官长都想杀祂, 48 只是无从下手,因为百姓都十分喜爱听祂讲道。

Zacchaeus the Tax Collector

19 Jesus entered Jericho(A) and was passing through. A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy. He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he could not see over the crowd. So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig(B) tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way.(C)

When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today.” So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly.

All the people saw this and began to mutter, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinner.”(D)

But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord,(E) “Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything,(F) I will pay back four times the amount.”(G)

Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham.(H) 10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”(I)

The Parable of the Ten Minas(J)

11 While they were listening to this, he went on to tell them a parable, because he was near Jerusalem and the people thought that the kingdom of God(K) was going to appear at once.(L) 12 He said: “A man of noble birth went to a distant country to have himself appointed king and then to return. 13 So he called ten of his servants(M) and gave them ten minas.[a] ‘Put this money to work,’ he said, ‘until I come back.’

14 “But his subjects hated him and sent a delegation after him to say, ‘We don’t want this man to be our king.’

15 “He was made king, however, and returned home. Then he sent for the servants to whom he had given the money, in order to find out what they had gained with it.

16 “The first one came and said, ‘Sir, your mina has earned ten more.’

17 “‘Well done, my good servant!’(N) his master replied. ‘Because you have been trustworthy in a very small matter, take charge of ten cities.’(O)

18 “The second came and said, ‘Sir, your mina has earned five more.’

19 “His master answered, ‘You take charge of five cities.’

20 “Then another servant came and said, ‘Sir, here is your mina; I have kept it laid away in a piece of cloth. 21 I was afraid of you, because you are a hard man. You take out what you did not put in and reap what you did not sow.’(P)

22 “His master replied, ‘I will judge you by your own words,(Q) you wicked servant! You knew, did you, that I am a hard man, taking out what I did not put in, and reaping what I did not sow?(R) 23 Why then didn’t you put my money on deposit, so that when I came back, I could have collected it with interest?’

24 “Then he said to those standing by, ‘Take his mina away from him and give it to the one who has ten minas.’

25 “‘Sir,’ they said, ‘he already has ten!’

26 “He replied, ‘I tell you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but as for the one who has nothing, even what they have will be taken away.(S) 27 But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them—bring them here and kill them in front of me.’”

Jesus Comes to Jerusalem as King(T)(U)

28 After Jesus had said this, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem.(V) 29 As he approached Bethphage and Bethany(W) at the hill called the Mount of Olives,(X) he sent two of his disciples, saying to them, 30 “Go to the village ahead of you, and as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. 31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it.’”

32 Those who were sent ahead went and found it just as he had told them.(Y) 33 As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, “Why are you untying the colt?”

34 They replied, “The Lord needs it.”

35 They brought it to Jesus, threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on it. 36 As he went along, people spread their cloaks(Z) on the road.

37 When he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives,(AA) the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen:

38 “Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!”[b](AB)

“Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”(AC)

39 Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!”(AD)

40 “I tell you,” he replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.”(AE)

41 As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over it(AF) 42 and said, “If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace—but now it is hidden from your eyes. 43 The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you and encircle you and hem you in on every side.(AG) 44 They will dash you to the ground, you and the children within your walls.(AH) They will not leave one stone on another,(AI) because you did not recognize the time of God’s coming(AJ) to you.”

Jesus at the Temple(AK)

45 When Jesus entered the temple courts, he began to drive out those who were selling. 46 “It is written,” he said to them, “‘My house will be a house of prayer’[c];(AL) but you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’[d](AM)

47 Every day he was teaching at the temple.(AN) But the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the leaders among the people were trying to kill him.(AO) 48 Yet they could not find any way to do it, because all the people hung on his words.

  4. Luke 19:46 Jer. 7:11

19 And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.

And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among the publicans, and he was rich.

And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press, because he was little of stature.

And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for he was to pass that way.

And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at thy house.

And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.

And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be guest with a man that is a sinner.

And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.

And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.

10 For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

11 And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.

12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.

13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.

14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us.

15 And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading.

16 Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.

17 And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.

18 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds.

19 And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities.

20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin:

21 For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.

22 And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow:

23 Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury?

24 And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds.

25 (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.)

26 For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him.

27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.

28 And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.

29 And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,

30 Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither.

31 And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him.

32 And they that were sent went their way, and found even as he had said unto them.

33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?

34 And they said, The Lord hath need of him.

35 And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon.

36 And as he went, they spread their clothes in the way.

37 And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;

38 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.

39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.

40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.

41 And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,

42 Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.

43 For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,

44 And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.

45 And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought;

46 Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.

47 And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,

48 And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.
